June 2025
Imagine DayZ with a hundred times more beautiful looking nature. And on top of it you don't have to stress yourself with PvPvE or the survival mechanics. You are just kinda thrown into a world, doing optional story quests, and hunting animals that get in your way – if you feel like it. Don't worry about the weapons or DLCs for now. Get the ATV at best (it's only good for roaming around and quickly unlocking campsites all around the map – afterwards you can fast travel to them) and hop in. The base game maps are lovely. Ignore the meta or "how to play the game correctly". Just try and relax. It's amazing.

I shot an animal 8 times and followed its blood trail long enough to cover a small country... but game pretty and lets me stalk something that's not my neighbor so I'd say its a good trade off.

My husband played this game before I did. He got really into it, and I always wondered why he enjoyed playing it so much and for so long. I would say all the time "it's just a hunting game". Now that's a running joke for us. At the time of this review Im nearing 700 hours in this "just a hunting game". I eventually broke down and got it on a good sale one day so that I could play multiplayer with my husband and spend time with him. I figured even if I didn't like it I got it on a sale so no biggie. I ended up falling in love with it. It's not my type of game at all, yet somehow it has become my most played game on Steam. Most of the maps are absolutely stunning, its incredibly realistic, the animals are vast and beautiful. Its immersive, challenging yet relaxing. Unfortunately you have to buy most of the maps as dlcs, and I usually recommend waiting until a sale and snatching them up, they arent too terribly expensive and so worth it. If youre unsure if you like a map, or dont want to buy one yet, you can go on a multiplayer server and test it out. The stories can be fun, there is plenty of areas to explore and tons of steam achievements. Being able to play in multiple different ways is enjoyable, I can play for half an hour or 10 hours straight. It's just incredible in my opinion. The downsides are sometimes glitches happen, you have to buy a lot of stuff (guns, lodges, rtvs, dogs, etc) separately, but with sales and how much I enjoy the game, they are minor cons.

Very fun game if you like to hunt but it's completely outrageous that all the maps and cool content are sold piecemeal.
